Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 360 Cleverness is Misunderstood by Cleverness

The early morning sun is a bit scorching, and people who have been in the sun all morning feel a little panicked.

Xiang Yu was sitting about five miles outside Yunyang City, wearing a black umbrella, and a maid was fanning the wind, watching the coalition forces attacking the city comfortably.

Looking from a distance, four coalition phalanxes, with a total of 20 people, surrounded Yunyang in all directions.

I saw soldiers holding sharp swords and strong crossbows, staring at their prey - Yunyang City.

Xiang Yu showed a satisfied smile on his face, and nodded slightly: "Yingbu, beat the drum!"

"promise!"

Ying Bu said yes, and then beat the war drum vigorously.

Boom!
dong dong dong-

A dull drum sound broke the tranquility of the morning in an instant, adding fuel to the already tense atmosphere.

Before the sound of the war drums stopped, the coalition forces under the city shouted loudly: "Break the city! Break the city! Break the city...!"

Immediately afterwards, all kinds of siege equipment moved slowly, approaching Yunyang City.

At the same time, the defenders in Yunyang City were also holding bows and arrows, carrying stones, and preparing to meet the rebels.

Although siege battles were not uncommon in ancient wars, such large-scale siege battles were rare, especially after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, there were very few similar scenes.

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes to look at the battlefield, and suddenly had an idea, turned his head to Zhang Liang and said, "Zifang, who do you think will be the final winner when these four attack the city?"

Hearing the question, Zhang Liang, who was standing aside, blinked and asked back, "What does Bawang think?"

"Ah!"

Xiang Yu let out a 'huh', and teased Zhang Liang a little funnyly: "My uncle said that you, Zhang Zifang, are full of tricks, but now it seems that you are a little cautious. Although you are Liu Bang's counselor, you are also my foreign minister in Western Chu. Why should you be so Woolen cloth?"

"The Overlord was joking, I don't make too many distinctions, I just care more about what the Overlord thinks!" Zhang Liang said with a warm smile.

"Do you care what the king thinks?"

"That's right, who does Overlord think will break the city first?"

"Um"

Xiang Yu thought for a while, and said: "I think it's Long Qi. Long Qie is the number one general under my command. He fights bravely, takes the lead, and is resourceful. He should be able to break the city first!"

"Not necessarily!"

Zhang Liang shook his head and smiled.

"Oh?" Xiang Yu was taken aback, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the best opinion of Ovary?"

"Back to Overlord!"

Zhang Liangchao Xiang Yu cupped his hands, and pondered: "Actually, these four generals have rich combat experience. From the aspect of personnel allocation, it can be seen that General Chen Yu is rigorous in employing troops, rich in experience, and the distribution of troops is also very reasonable. Among the four generals The most sophisticated of them all.”

"General Tian Du is a young and sharp man. He has fewer crossbowmen, relatively more assault infantry, and heavy soldiers. It shows that he is good at rapid advances and does not want to be restrained by the rear."

"General Longqi is resolute and brave. Most of his troops are assault infantry, which shows that this person has a strong desire to attack and does not pay attention to defense and cooperation."

"As for Liu Bang, King of the Han Dynasty, although his military and political strategies were not brilliant, he used troops very interestingly. The crossbow soldiers and heavy soldiers accounted for more than half of his troops. The assault infantry was directly used, and the logistics infantry was used instead. This shows that this person is good at using geographical advantages and equipment. .”

"With such an analysis, each has its own characteristics!"

Xiang Yu nodded in agreement, and then asked: "In Zi Fang's opinion, who do you like more?"

"According to the characteristics of the four people's troops, the direction of attack, and the situation of the defenders of Yunyang City."

Zhang Liang thought for a moment, then replied: "General Longqie's desire to attack is too strong, he should be hit hardest, and if he can't attack for a long time, he will easily fall into a stalemate;
General Tian Du's loyalty to the Overlord is unparalleled, so he will definitely follow in the footsteps of General Longqie. After General Longqie's fierce attack, he will launch a strong attack again, but the front has already lost strength, and the morale of the enemy army is high. It's hard to break the city! "

"As for General Chen Yu, although he has rich experience and reasonable troops, Xin Sheng will never let him succeed, so he should encounter the real elite of the Qin army!"

"According to Zifang, Liu Bang will win by surprise?" Xiang Yu asked curiously.

"It's not that I deliberately flattered the King of Han, but the troops he chose are easily overlooked. Therefore, the defense of the bandit army to the east is relatively weak."

As he spoke, Zhang Liang raised his finger and pointed to the front, and said to Xiang Yu: "Look, Overlord, the east side is now backlit, while the south side is facing the light. It is estimated that when the King of Han attacks the city, the sun should be the most glaring to the enemy. This gave him the best chance to break through the city!"

"In addition, the east of the city is adjacent to the water area, and the soil is soft. If a large number of catapults and crossbows are concentrated, under a strong attack, the east wall of the city should collapse immediately!"

"awesome!"

Hearing Zhang Liang's analysis, Xiang Yu clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Zifang is really a genius in the world, and his knowledge is very good. How about it, since this king made a bet with the four of them, I will also make a bet with you, and the loser will punish himself How about three cups?"

"I am willing to bet against the Overlord!"

Zhang Liang clapped his hands in response.

"it is good!"

Xiang Yu nodded and said with a smile: "If that boy Longqie loses, I will punish him with ten cups when he comes back!"

Hearing this, everyone behind laughed and prayed silently for Long Qie, while Zhang Liang's eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully.

In fact, Liu Bang's deployment was all arranged by Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang hoped that Liu Bang would capture Yunyang. ability, no longer in doubt.

The second is to test Xiang Yu's bottom line. If Xiang Yu denies Liu Bang's contribution again in front of the princes, the gap between the coalition forces will gradually widen.

For Liu Bang, this was a risky move, because Xiang Yu obviously wanted to take the first credit for himself, and Liu Bang's move was tantamount to plucking hair from a tiger's butt.

Just as Zhang Liang was thinking, the siege battle had already begun.

Amidst the earth-shattering sound of war drums from the coalition forces, countless soldiers and equipment quickly approached Yunyang City. All kinds of siege equipment and crossbow arrows shot fiercely at the defenders on Yunyang City.

At the top of the city where rubble was flying and arrows were raining, the defenders fled in a hurry. The coalition forces took advantage of this opportunity to quickly set up a ladder to attack the top of the city.

Sure enough, the soldiers who took the lead in attacking the city were all Longqi's assault infantry, but as soon as they attacked, there were only a few of them. Deal with the coalition forces besieging the city.

All of a sudden, all kinds of logs, stones, gray bottles, kerosene, and lead water all fell down.

Long Qiejun was beaten to the point of bleeding, and screamed again and again. Although he was still brave and fearless, the attack was stopped abruptly by the defenders.

On the other side, Tian Du also launched an attack at the same time. As soon as he arrived at the city, he was greeted by a rain of arrows from the defenders. Although he was not as embarrassed as Long Qiejun, the offensive was stopped by the defenders.

"Interesting! It's so interesting, it's exactly as Zifang said"

The corner of Xiang Yu's mouth rose slightly, looking at the battlefield with great interest.

Although he couldn't see the situation on Chen Yu's side, it should be the same, after all, from the beginning to the end, he didn't see Qin Jun's elite climb up to the top of the city.

Sure enough, not long after, the messenger Sima came to report: "Overlord, General Chen Yu encountered the tenacious resistance of Qin General Zhou Peng in the south, and the battle is very fierce!"

"Understood, continue to investigate!"

"promise!"

Watching the messenger Sima leave, Xiang Yu thought in surprise, "Could it be that Liu Bang will win as Zhang Liang said?"

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden roar of thunder in the east, and countless flying stones slammed into the east wall like meteors falling to the ground.

At the same time, a large number of crossbowmen aimed at the defenders on the city wall and fired wildly, pressing down on the defenders until they couldn't lift their heads. Nearly a hundred trebuchets quickly spread out while the defenders were avoiding the rain of arrows. Focusing on the weak section in the east of the city, intensive projection.

In less than a moment, the east wall of the city shook violently, and then collapsed, sending up dust all over the sky.

"Kill ah-"

As the wall in the east of Yunyang City collapsed, a gap of about tens of meters suddenly appeared, and countless allied forces roared in unison, rushing towards the gap like a tide.

In just a split second, the situation on the battlefield changed suddenly. The defenders, who had high morale, became frightened the moment the wall collapsed, while the originally depressed coalition forces, led by Liu Bang's army, suddenly fought vigorously.

At this moment, the outcome seems to be no suspense.

Watching all this, from the beginning to the doomed ending, Xiang Yu's heart had an inexplicable fluctuation, but it was only a momentary fluctuation, and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Zifang is right! Zifang wins, this king will punish himself with three cups, come and bring me some wine!"

After finishing speaking, he said indignantly: "Damn it, that boy Long Qi really doesn't give me face. Tian Du and Chen Yu are still on the mend. When they come back, let's see how I deal with them!"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help laughing, and silently prayed for the three generals.

But Zhang Liang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling very happy about Fan Zeng's departure in his heart, Xiang Yu really had no brains.

At the same time, on the other side, Yongcheng was ten miles away.

Before Xiang Yu ordered the attack on Yunyang, Xiang Zhuang was sent by Xiang Yu to Yongcheng to escort food and grass.

Although Xiang Zhuang also wanted to attack Yunyang, he dared not disobey Xiang Yu's order no matter what.

Especially after Fan Zeng left, Xiang Yu became more arbitrary, and if he made a slight mistake, his cousin would also suffer.

"Report!"

Just when Xiang Zhuang was slightly in a daze, the scouts sent out hurriedly came to report: "Report to King Yong, a large group of people have been found ahead and are moving north!"

"Ok?"

Xiang Zhuang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Isn't Yong City ahead? Why would people migrate?"

"According to the investigation of my subordinates, those people came out of Yongcheng. Judging from the direction of their migration, they should go to Duyang!"

"Since the order of Yongcheng promised to surrender, why did he privately relocate the people? What does he want to do?"

"This subordinate doesn't know!"

"Humph!"

Xiang Zhuang snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "He dares to play tricks on others, but I think he is pretending to surrender. He will ambush us when we enter Yong City!"

"what?"

Hearing Xiang Zhuang's words, the lieutenant beside him turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said: "King Yong, since the Qin people are deceitful, shall we still enter Yong City?"

"I will definitely go in, but."

Xiang Zhuang pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "Even if we enter Yongcheng now, we will only get an empty city. I believe that the people of Qin have already transported the grain and valuables in the city to Duyang. Take Du Yang!"

"Take Du Yang directly?"

The lieutenant exclaimed.

Xiang Zhuang narrowed his eyes: "There are at least 10 people in front of us. Let's follow them and approach Duyang City. When Du Yang is ready to accept these people, we will take the opportunity to capture Du Yang!"

"What if Du Yang finds us and refuses to accept those people?"

"If you don't accept it, kill those people and deter the defenders in Duyang City!"

As Xiang Zhuang said, he suddenly remembered something, and said decisively: "The whole army hastened to catch up with those people, don't pay attention to Yongcheng. If my guess is right, there must be a large number of Qin troops in Yongcheng!"

"promise!"

Sima Yingnuo was ordered to retreat.

Xiang Zhuang sent him away, frowning.

In his mind, the order of Yongcheng's sudden change of mind must have something to rely on, otherwise it would be difficult to stop the coalition attack with the strength of the soldiers and civilians of Yongcheng.

However, he had some doubts in his heart, which army gave Yong Cheng the courage?

Looking at Qin and abroad, there are now two armies, which have not yet expressed their attitudes. One is Wang Li's army in Longxi, and the other is Li Xin's army in Mobei.

Li Xin's army is too far away from Yongcheng, even if he intends to send troops south, it is impossible to reach Yongcheng within two or three days, so the army in Yongcheng need not think too much.

It was definitely Wang Li's army.

Previously, Wang Li had sent troops to rescue Zhang Han, but now it is reasonable to go east.

However, my elder brother is about to succeed, how can your little force stop him?

After thinking for a while, Xiang Zhuang smiled coldly in his heart: "Wang Li is really delusional, and even took advantage of our attack on Yunyang to follow behind. Fortunately, that idiot of Yongcheng ordered me to remind him, otherwise he would eat me With this army, he will catch Big Brother by surprise!"

After saying that, he ordered again: "Come here, go and inform Bawang immediately, please send troops to attack Yongcheng quickly, and tell him that Wang Li has already dispatched troops to Yongcheng, the opportunity must not be missed!"

"As ordered!"

Ever since, under Xiang Zhuang's order, tens of thousands of rebels escorting food and grass temporarily changed their route and went straight to Du Yang.

But Yongcheng Ling Heibo and Du Yang Ling Zi'an, who discovered this situation, were angry and anxious, and couldn't help being puzzled by Zhao Kun's order.

It was an established plan to lure the rebels into Yongcheng, but why did Zhao Kun change his mind as soon as he entered Yongcheng, and even drove the people of Yongcheng to Duyang? What kind of strategy is this?
Not only Uncle Hei and Zian were puzzled, but even the generals who accompanied Zhao Kun to Yongcheng were also puzzled.

At this time, at the head of Yongcheng City, Zhao Kun looked at Xiangzhuang's army very calmly. When he saw Xiangzhuang's army changing its route and chasing the people of Yongcheng, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Um.
He is really an obedient boy, did he really choose to capture Du Yang?
This Zhuang is pretty smart, but it’s a pity that his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness. Your life belongs to me, Zhao Kun!
